<h1>Volunteer</h1>

<img src="/img/photos/alana-joyce.jpg" class="float left">
<p>Hello potential volunteer!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for taking interest in Watoto Wa Baraka.</p>
<p>The volunteer program enables you to experience life in East Africa and participate in the many programs that we run. You will have the opportunity to try different roles and programs, dependent on your interests and skills. Our volunteers come from all over the world.</p>
<p>At Watoto Wa Baraka we place our volunteers with host families or in the orphanage dependent on the program chosen.</p>
<p>The program requires a contribution of <b>$90</b> per week to cover the cost of accommodation, meals and administrative fees and to contribute to the cost of current projects (such as construction).</p>
<p>We offer orientation for our new volunteers to become acquainted with the local culture, language and the project work.</p>
<p>Please contact us at {% include "common/email.html" %}, for any questions or to put you in contact with past volunteers.</p>
<p>We look forward to hearing from you!</p>

<h2>Virtual Volunteering Programme and Fundraising</h2>

<img src="/img/photos/tabby-and-naomi.jpg" class="float right">
<p>You can clothe, feed and educate a child without even boarding a plane!</p>
<p>For volunteers unable to make the journey or for those interested in fundraising for the cost of the programme there are a number of ideas such as walk-a-thons, bake sales and car washes.</p>
<p>Some ideas of how you can help us from home include:</p>

<ul>
<li>Developing unique fundraisers in your town</li>
<li>Starting a Watoto Wa Baraka club at your school, church, or any other convenient location</li>
<li>Assisting in finding volunteers or donors</li>
<li>Approaching charities, organizations, lobbying local government</li>
<li>Local papers, promotion</li>
<li>Online campaigns</li>
<li>Offering your time to coordinating some volunteers in your home country</li>
</ul>

If you are willing to donate some of your time to WWB, please contact us at {% include "email.html" %}.

Even if you have only a few hours to contribute, our organisation and the orphans could benefit significantly by your participation.
